[27th Jan] Future planned stuff:
uber kernel/TC and -o flag optimisation
[26th Jan] Mega and XDA Download links updated!
[26th Jan] @aaz03 since I feel this ROM is essentially stable, can I ask that you advice me on how to optimize it?
[25th Jan]

I will soon be moving this OP to changelog and include a legit OP here since I uploaded to G Drive already. Seems like I do not need to ask for permission, but I need to credit people? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'll be going ahead and crediting people while uploading my ROM.

----EDIT ABOVE----

So I didn't need to fix my graphics driver i used terminal lol but anyways I'm uploading my ROM to google drive, theres 2 zips ill upload both idk which works. Everyone please still help on who to look for permission to post ROM, I don't want to post ROM w/o permission. I also need testers.

----EDIT ABOVE----

SlimRom LP5.1.1 HELP NEEDED
So, I finished compiling the ROM (Proof in 2nd post or whatever) but as this is my first ROM I need some help.
1. Who do I contact for permission on posting the ROM?
2. As you can see the terminal looks wierd, that's because XServer and/or MDM died, I'll fix that myself since problem is due to VM config but for now I can't post the ROM since I can't access my files from terminal and move it to my native OS since I suck. (ANYONE CAN HELP WITH TERMINAL COMMANDS???)
3. What do I do for testing? I need my phone for daily driver, and I have no other backup/fallback phone. If I get stuck in bootloop I know how to recover but I do not know how to recover from bricks easily.
4. If there are any bugs at all I will not know how to solve it so I beg all devs looking at this page to like bookmark it or smth and help me, especially @aaz03 since you built slim for our phone before.
For the users who are waiting to test this ROM pls dont post lol, I am also very anxious to test.
I am sorry for this wierd ROM DevDB post but I assure you guys I won't stop attempting to make this work until I get pumped with too much schoolwork/MM is stable.

Thanks for your time in reading this post!

I see you managed certain things on your own. But anyway, I'd like to help as much as possible. If you want an "OK" to post the build I recommend to ask o their official g+ community https://plus.google.com/communities/104509876514579429216 or you take some inspiration from the SlimRom Builders collection http://forum.xda-developers.com/slimroms/general/rom-builders-collective-t2861778.

Just make sure that you give credit to people who have helped you and/or you borrowed stuff from. If you cherrypicked or "kanged" certain things ask for permission to use it and give credit as well.

As long as you can boot into download mode chances for bricking the device are small. I'm just talking about software bricks of course. Keep a stock ROM on your hard drive in case something is messed up and you cannot get your phone booting. If you're using adb make sure it works correctly first.

If you need anything I'm sure other peeps will help you of course. As for testing purposes share the link first in private with a handful of people who know what they are doing before you release it in public. The key features should definitely work (or as far as possible), adding features is something for the future when the ROM has less or no bugs. Adding features can break some things within the ROM.

Alright, thank you for that advice. I do not have time today at all, but I'll put like a warning saying do not test if u do not know what u r doing in red. Meanwhile I'll credit ppl.

Update: Most major features are working, I think this ROM should be categorized as stable...? I'll leave it as beta first.

 

[hexisg]

good job...this was my favorite until it stopped at beta 0.9.
Installed and working very good.
is RRO Layers Theme supported?

 

[Trafalgar Square]

Yes it's supported.

 

[Mrxyzl]

So, can anyone give an opinion on how the battery life? Random reboot or FC?
And by the way, is it okay to flash agni kernel?

No random reboot or FC, As for agni kernel try yourself should be okay.
Battery life? Well, its normal as with any other ROM. Please don't complain of bad battery on first day, because its like that for every ROM.

 

[hexisg]

Still testing...i have problems with Layers , the themes seem to have wrong colors....and i have tried many.
Can you please look into it.
Agni kernel 5.9.7 smdk work fine.
The rom is very fast ad battery life is ok.No FC or random reboots.
